Tresidder, representative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago THURSDAY, MARCH 6,-1930 TO STIMULATE INTEREST The Chamber of Commerce made a wise decision at the meeting on Tuesday. evening, when it decided to hold regular meetings once a month, which all members will be urged to attend. One of the few criticisms which have been levelled at the Chamber of Commerce has been that its mmbers were not given a large enough part in its deliberations, that there were not sufficient opportunities provided for a free and open discussion of matters in which the Chamber was interested. The new move will provide these oppor- tunities, and should help to stimulate inter- est in what the Chamber of Commerce has been doing. It is to be hoped that the de- cision will be carried out. There have been cases in which similar bodies have made the same decision in other places, but have ne- glected to carry out the program. Let us \ hope that this will not be true of the Osh- awa .Chamber of Commerce, but that so in- teresting a series of meetings will be held that the Chamber of Commerce will become "one of the most popular organizations in the city. WHY DO THEY DO IT? It is rather hard at time to fathom the 'workings of the human mind. This was ob- servable at a recent sitting of division court, at which five cases, involving small amounts, totalling in all some $32.00, were 'up for decision. The debt was not disputed in any one of these cases. The defendants not only acknowledged the amount owing, but paid into court the money to cover their accounts, plus the expenses of the court ac- tion. In each case, these amounted to some three dollars. "Now all of these people could have saved three dollars or more each had they not waited until appearing in court before pay- ing the accounts. Even had they only paid in small instalments, the creditor would have been satisfied, and they would not have had to pay the court costs in addition to the original debt. . One can make allowances, of course, for hard times, but in these cases it seemed as if the debtors were too'willing to wait to be forced to pay before making settlement. But doesn't it seem foolish to defer the day of reckoning so long that it costs half as much again as the original bill in costs before pay- "ing debts that are not disputed? MISUNDERSTOOD There appears to be a great deal of mis- understanding, even in quarters which one smight expect to be well-informed, regard- "ing the War Veterans' Allowance Act which was introduced in the House of Commons son Tuesday. For instance, a headline in the Toronto Mail and Empire, the following "morning, read, "Stinging Attack™on Pension "Revision Act." Other papers also referred to the hill ag having to do with the provi- "sion of pensions, and one interview referred "to the bill overlooking the necessity of re- moving the onus of proof of disability from "the pension applicant to the pension board. £ As a matter of fact, this legislation has 'nothing to-do with the Pension Act, either "by way of revision or amendment. It is * something entirely different, and its pur- pose is to provide for the veterans who are not jonable, and therefore do not come | within the terms of the Pension Act. It is not to be: administered by the Pension Board, but by an entirely different body. "It may be that, on account of some of the remarks of opposition speakers in the House Commons, the idea has spread that this is _all that it is proposed to do for war veterans "at the present session of parliament. This is far from being the case. This is an en- _tirely new measure, and the government "still has in mind the matter of pension leg- 4slation amendments. This will be good s for war veterans who were under the impression that the War Veterans Allow- ance Act constituted all the remedial effort * that was to be made this session, . fi BALDWIN'S CONVERSION Lord Beaverbrook is making a claim, and not without foundation, that Stanley Bald- win/has become converted to his poilcy of Empire Free Trade. This claim followed a speech in which the former British premier declared his readiness, if elected to power at the next election, to call an Imperial Conference to consider the question of free trade within the Empire, and also to submit to the people of Britain, in a referendum, a system of Empire free trade, including a tax on foreign foodstuffs produced outside the Empire. --- This statement can quite. easily be inter- preted as indicating that Mr. Baldwin has become a convert to the Beaverbrook policy. Perhaps he felt it was necessary in order to save the Conservative party from a disas- trous split, for political expediency often prodyces some strange combinations of pol- icy. Yet, if one studies the thing a little more, it is found that Mr. 'Baldwin has by no' means committed himself to support the Beaverbrook policy. He has merely under- taken to consult the Dominions and the people of Great Britain before adopting it. And in saying that, he is on safe ground, for he knows, as Lord Beaverbrook must know, that there is no chance of the Dominions being favorable, and just as little chance of the British people accepting taxes on food- stuffs, no matter where they are produced. So Mr. Baldwin is quite safe in his promises, and has the satisfaction of knowing that he has, for a time at least, held his party to- gether. A NATIONAL EDUCATOR It was interesting to listen over the radio thé other night to an address by William A. Thomson, of New York, director of the Bu- reau of advertising of the American News- paper Publishers' Association. In his ad- dress, both interesting and instructive, he lauded the position which the newspaper oc- cupies in the world of today as an educa- tional force. Newspapers, he said, brought to their readers the latest word on all phases of human life, conduct and activity, kept their readers informed on all that was going on in the world, and provided endless topics for friendly conversation and debate. "Thus," said Mr. Thomson," the daily newspaper not only keeps the channels of world information flowing freely, but also furnishes through its advertising the power that moves merchandise from the maker to the user. It comes as near as being all things to all men and all women as any human institution can be." There is no need to add anything. It is a tribute which carries its own moral. Most people in business realize that their Jiveli- hood, their success, lies in moving their goods from the maker to the user, and Mr. Thomson is only one of a vast army of pro- minent men wilg are convinced that news- paper advertising\is the most effective me- thod of accomplish this. EDITORIAL NOTES Charlie Chaplin refuses to play in the talkies. This is natural, for we have often seen him look quite lifelike in the part of a dummy. The St. Lawrence Waterway Development is one of the things which will make a de- finite future contribution to Oshawa's fu- ture, and the people of this city should be educated to become strong supporters of -the scheme. Oshawa's building program for 1930 is not very impressive as yet, but there is a long way to go before fall comes along. The success of the T. B. Mothersill Com- pany in securing large contracts shows that Oshawa does not need to take a back seat, to any of the large cities. Isn't it strange -how hard it is to keep politics out of even the sufferings of the burnt-out war veterans. The last three chief keepers of Auburn prison have been slain by convicts. This is one job which does not seem 'likely to at- tract a large number of applicants. The burning question is settled now.

With these commitments in mind, the municipal council has probably done well to restrict such increase to five mills, fixing the rate at 47 mills upon the dollar, and, high though this rate is in contrast with others that have prevailed, there is some satisfaction in knowing that it is still below the rate in some Ontario communities of comparable size, But having decided upon such an merease in the annual levy, (0 meet which may tax the resources of not a few of the ratepayers, the munici- pal council should now bend its encr- gies towards bringing it down at the earliest possible opportunity. From vear to year issugs of debentures will be maturing. Hitherto, municipal councils have found themselves un- {able to resist the temptation to add as mucle to the debenture debt as has been retired, if n re tually inere that indebtedness. The way to lower taxation in Brockville is not 'rough the adoption of such a policy, A reduced rate will only be brought about through the represen- tatives of the citizens exercising due regard for their interests and en- deavoring, wherever possible, to re- sist the incessant demands for addi- tional capital expenditures and to pare down their current outliy. Li a policy of retrenchment is deemed necessary in governmental expendi- tures, it is equally desirable in the municipal sphere and the municipal- ities cannot much longer ignore the criticism which has been directed against them; that while the govern- wents (and, particu' rly, the Federal administration) have been bringing down their rates of taxation, the municipalities have been increasing theirs, In comparison with other Canadian co res of corresponding size, the town of Brockville can now boast of muni ipal services and facilities that are entirely adequate for some years to come. It has gone farther in this direction than many other conunun- itics and it actually = possesses the equipment of a city when it has yet to attain (hat status, The time has arrived when a halt may very well be called to increasing municipal ex- penditures and when those charged with the administration of municipal affairs shoulds consider it to be their duty t. use every means within their power to stop the upward course of jon and to remove the mills that have been added to it. taxat alarmed and when about to call a doctor the pain has passed away.

It would appear therefore that we were na- turally born to distant vision as a necessity and for close work oc- casional use of the eyes only. To- day through the many inventions and devices of civilization the evo- lution of vision is to have the old order reversed and more constant use of the eyes for near work and for distant use only occasionally. We need not of fiecessity conclud: that the eyes are getting 'worse than were the oyes of people living a few years ago. But in our study on_how to use the eyes, today cer tain conditions are brought to our notice which were not noticed in the past owing to the fact that the eyes were not so much a part of our every day equipment and were not used at close work as they uow are.
